A 44-year-old man driving the bus was among four people hurt in the crash but he did not require hospital treatment

Dramatic photos show the vehicle wedged in a family home and a bashed up black Range Rover, with dozens of firefighters and medics at the scene in Keresley Road.

The Coventry Telegraph reports that it is believed one person was in the crash home at the time, and a family who lived there were away for the weekend.

Only a "handful of people" were on the National Express bus at the time according to police.

Large cracks could be seen in the front and side of the house and there have been fears from structural engineers that it could collapse if the bus is not removed correctly, according to the Coventry Telegraph.

One eye-witness Kylie Jones told the website: "It was just like a big, massive bang. It sounded like a bomb."
